    COVID -19: UAE parents, students go shopping for the new school term

    Children will return to the classroom for the first time in five months in UAE on Sunday

    Come Sunday, schools across the UAE will see an influx of students who will be returning after a five-month hiatus. This school term will be different; under the shadow of a coronavirus pandemic many precautions will need to be taken and not everyone will be making a comeback all at once. But some things never change – everyone needs supplies. Before the school bell rings, parents are busy buying uniforms, stationary and the dozens of other little things a student may need. The extra purchase this time around? Face masks. Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News

    For those opting for e-learning, preparing for term may require extra effort. Parents must scour stores for (maybe) faster laptops, desks or other classroom decor to create the right ambience. Image Credit: Clint Egbert/Gulf News
